Tales Of The Arabian Nights
Yet another conversion from those prolific Interceptor people. This game was originally for the C64 and had software simulated speech, which was very good. The Beeb version does not have such an advantage but is a reasonable game nonetheless.
The graphics are reasonable for a four-colour mode and the action is the same as for the C64 version. However, I think that it is slightly easier, as I got further on this than on the C64 version.
The format is a fairly straightforward ladders and ramps kind, with one or two twists. You must collect the letters 'ARABIAN' from the masts of a ship, then row a boat to shore avoiding some unrecognisable objects that fall from the sky, then collect the letters again from what looks like a harem, and so it goes on.
Not a bad game, but the four-colour graphics look a bit bland.
